I had this last weekend. Contractions every 4-5 minutes for over an hour. 40 minutes of that was in the bathtub. My midwife had advised me to go in if they didn't stop by the 2 hour mark, but to just keep chugging water and stay laying down and try to relax.

I'd call also... Always better safe than sorry. I was contracting 2mins apart and dilated 2 cm when I was 31w3d and didn't even know .... I just happened to call my dr to let her know that earlier that AM I felt like I had more braxtonhicks than what ur supposed to have in 1 hr. she advised me to go to hospital to be monitored and sure enough I was in early labor and didn't know it. Now I'm on bed rest...
